Research on gender and leadership has historically been dominated
by the Global North, where there tend to be more woman leaders than
in the Global South. However, scholars are increasingly questioning
the generalizability of the results of such research, while at the
same time highlighting the importance of contextualizing leadership
studies within distinct socio-cultural frameworks. Understanding
the contextual differences at play, Gender Equity in Hospitality:
The Case of India showcases the barriers, both systemic and
individual, to woman leadership in the hospitality sector in India,
including cultural discouragement, training, and development gaps
as well as commonly held prejudices. On the other hand, Dr Payal
Kumar also details HR policies, such as flexi-timing, that have
successfully benefitted women in hospitality, and which have the
potential to serve as future models for implementing systemic
change. Providing important insights for critical management
scholars and educators around the world, Gender Equity in
Hospitality: The Case of India offers an ideal case study for
examining the barriers to woman leadership in India. For leaders
across the sector, this monograph provides private industry and
public policy recommendations for transforming the country into a
top global hospitality destination.
